I can see no logic for treating household accounts differently in this respect and I really don't want to have to break up the household account for 6 months before I can re-establish it just to effect the combination of my Avios. Is there any BA insider that can advise on any way round this?
From the T&C:
3. Members of a Household Account under the programmes may not use CMA other than (a) from a British Airways Executive Club Household Account to an individual account under the Avios programme or the Iberia Plus programme and (b) from the individual account under the Avios programme to a Household Account under the British Airways Executive programme. Any other Household account transaction will not be permitted under CMA.
So, you should probably disband and reassemble the household account. I wonder, if you disband the household account, it is not there any more, so there should be no time restriction for when to create another one? Or if there is, you can probably choose another member to be the head of the account, so it will be totally different. Just thinking, as I'll probably have to do the same soon.
